But the effect on paper grade pulp was minor
Chinese BHK Prices Rebounded in the First Half, but Have Since Lost Momentum• Prices in Europe have lagged behind, as usual, and have not gotten upward traction

Capacity Changes Will Be Key Drivers of Second‐Half Market Conditions• Four major BSK capacity expansion projects will be ramping up in the second half of 2016 Three SBSK/fluff projects, one NBSK
• APP OKI mill in Indonesia Still targeting commercial tonnage by the end of this year
• However, there are also conversions from paper grade BHK to viscose DP in the works, which could affects supply in the second half
2016‐2017 Forecast Drivers

15© Copyright 2016 RISI, Inc. | Proprietary Information
Pulp Demand Appears to Be on a Rather Steady Growth Trend• Overall market pulp demand growth has averaged 2.5% per year over the past five years In the 1.3‐2.9% range in four of those years (no declines), so much steadier than in past decades Big quarter‐to‐quarter changes in Chinese demand will drive demand swings in the short run
• In this environment, supply developments are creating more volatility in the market

How Much Is Growth in Tissue Contributing to Pulp Demand?• Tissue demand will grow by 3.6% per year in 2016‐2017, so about 1.3 million tonnes per year of additional tissue production and fiber demand
• Slight increase over time in pulp share, compared to recovered fiber (2/3 vs 1/3 at present) In the USA, consumer tissue is growing faster than away‐from‐home, which is good for pulp demand
• There is increasing use of “integrated” or “captive” pulp to produce tissue Less market pulp demand, but also less pulp capacity available for the market
Like Tissue, Fluff Pulp Demand Is Growing Quite Steadily, Adding About 250,000 tpy to Pulp Demand

Pulp Imports per Day, Thousand Tonnes
So What Are the Sources of China’s Incremental Pulp Demand?• Tissue production is rising by about 6‐7% or 550,000 tpy• Rising production virgin‐fiber boxboard• Closures of old pulp and paper capacity favors BHK growth (at
the expense of local fiber, including nonwood) Based on our study, consumption of straw pulp in tissue and P&W
will fall by more than 1.0 million tonnes between 2015 and 2020
• Ongoing move toward more BHK and less BSK as new paper machines are installed
• BSK demand for absorbent applications (fluff pulp) is growing• Conclusion: Net imports of BHK into China will continue to
show solid growth• World demand growth of approximately 2.8% per year

Supply: A Wave of New Pulp Capacity Is About to Crest, but There Will Be Less Capacity Than Was Expected• “Integrated” pulp being converted to “market”• But three pulp projects postponed/cancelled• And more paper grade capacity is shifting to produce viscose pulp than was expected E.g., Sun Paper (Yanzhou, China) Conversions of swing capability at large Asian mills The ability to make viscose pulp using continuous digesters is a key development
BHK Capacity Developments• 2016 Klabin Ortigueira, March: 1.1 million tonnes Sun Paper Yanzhou: Switch to BHK from DP, POSTPONED
• Out of our forecast numbers Alizay (France): BHK restart, POSTPONED indefinitely
• Out of our forecast numbers APP Sumatra (OKI), 4Q16 (?): 2.8 million tonnes
• Reduced wood availability not a major impediment
• 2017 Fibria, 4Q17: 1.95 million tonnes Further conversions of paper grade BHK to viscose pulp at large mills in China, Indonesia
Vietracimex: 400,000 tonnes, POSTPONED• Tentatively in our forecast in early 2019
24© Copyright 2016 RISI, Inc. | Proprietary Information
Key BSK Capacity Developments• 2016 Klabin Ortigueira, March: 400,000 tonnes fluff/SBSK IP Riegelwood, 2Q16: 360,000 tonnes fluff/SBSK Domtar Ashdown, 3Q16: >300,000 tonnes fluff/SBSK Sodra Varo, 2H16: 275,000 tonnes Svetlogorksy: 400,000 tonnes BSK/BHK/DP, POSTPONED AGAIN
• Now showing this in 2017 in our forecast
Some Chinese mills will be making BSK rather than BHK depending on fiber availability
• 2017 Metsa Fibre, 3Q17‐4Q17: 700,000 tonnes BSK
25© Copyright 2016 RISI, Inc. | Proprietary Information
Forecast Summary• Very modest acceleration in growth of paper and board demand, mostly because of packaging
• Pulp demand will grow by just less than 3% per year• Supply‐side surprises will continue to drive uncertainty and forecast changes For BHK, timing of the OKI startup will be a strong determinant of pricing in the next six months; low operating rate in early 2017
For BSK, second half of 2016 looks weak in terms of operating rates, especially for SBSK/fluff; 2017 also looks weak
• Capacity rationalization is an upside risk for operating rates for both BSK and BHK
